Sleep mode/tracking

[Legion103]

Does anyone use the sleep feature on the new iOS7 for Apple Watch?

If so, how do you use it? I’m still trying to figure out how this actually works 😂

will it work without enabling a full sleep schedule?

You have to set it up on the watch or thru the health app on phone.

yes, I have it on, but full schedule is off.

will the watch know when I go to sleep? I’m confused how to enable it to work.

Just set your sleep schedule and wear the watch to bed. That’s pretty much it.

I have done all of this, checked all of the settings and guidelines on the apple website (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/watch/apd830528336/watchos), gone to sleep, and the stats still do not show. All I get is "Time in bed" from the iPhone - nothing in the "All Recorded Data" page from the Apple Watch. I'm tearing my hair out - any ideas?

You have to set a schedule. If you don’t, it’s not going to work like it should.

Same problem. Mine worked a few days ago but last night only recorded time in bed. It was in sleep mode and did the alarm. No summary screen and no data in the health app. Didn’t change any settings.

You can swipe up and tap the sleep button manually. I set a reasonable schedule and use the same button to disable it if it doesn't meet my current sleep needs.

Yes, I’m quoting myself...After my failed sleep data, I went through all the settings and checked everything turned it off and then back on but didn’t change a single setting. Last night I wore the watch again and it worked just fine. It gave me the summary in the morning and had the full sleep data in the health app.

Must be a bug somewhere that may fail to fully activate the sleep monitoring even when you put it in sleep mode.
